    "An der Nase leicht und fruchtig, überwiegend gelbe Früchte. Vanille, Röstnoten und Holz sind auch dabei. Am Gaumen geschmeidig, süß und wieder sehr fruchtig mit gut eingebundenem Alkohol. Der Nachklang hat eine leichte metallische Note. Sehr guter fruchtiger Clarendon, preislich leider nicht so attraktiv."

    "Nachverkostumg der drei Clarendon Low Ester Abfüllungen aus dem Rest & Be Thankful Tasting. Höheres Mark und Ester als der MBK und schöne Noten von Vanille, Tabak, Papaya, gelbe Früchte … gefällt mir aber insgesamt weniger gut als der MBK."

    "Master tasting from Rest & Be Thankful via RumX This MM is very fruity on the nose with a dominant apple note. Unfortunately, it loses this fruitiness on the palate. Spice, pepper and wood dominate and the alcohol is not so well integrated, which is a shame, The finish also remains in this direction. The whole thing seems somewhat unfinished"
